People come to 77-year-old "baba Stojanka" (grandmother Stojanka) from Stubik to ask her protection from evil forces; she visits their homes to protect them and to chase all evil away from their houses. She speaks about living vampires as if they were a common phenomenon in every village. Observing Baba Stojanka makes one think that she does not need the traditional handful of seeds for fortune telling and that she sees things without "great" rituals.
